ADIDAS VS NIKE

The way adidas is moving in college athletics makes me wonder if Nike is still interested in that business. Similar to when they gave up on golf equipment.

After the Tennessee move, I guarantee Nike is looking for a school to make up for that loss. Not only would Miami make up for it, a winning Miami team would outsell almost every school they have. I have high hopes for the next year!

So u think Adidas overspending for UTenn = Nike doesn’t care about one of the most lucrative sports industries? Lol

So r u forgetting Nike just snatched up:
Rutgers (from Adidas)
Auburn (from UA)
Hawaii (from Adidas)

just this yr? Lol. UTenn wanted to stay w Nike, but on no planet (which I already told this board in the mega shoe thread) was Nike going to pay a UTenn team more than Bama (who’s coming up), O$U, UofM (who’s coming up), or UT. & UTenn will be replaced b/c there’s 2 add’l schools that most likely will be switching to Nike.

So kudos to UTenn breaking the bank on Adidas; I’ll give this reunion 5 yrs b4 both sides start complaining.

It's funny that Adidas is always overspending, yet the programs that switch to them would always make more with Nike, right? lol. Funny how every program that goes from Adidas to Nike is proof of how garbage Adidas is. But in the reverse it's just smart business by Nike, and a mistake by the school in which they ultimately are somehow simultaneously following the money yet making the decision that results in less money too... Or maybe only we were that dumb I guess...

I get us old folks will always be Nike/Jordan over everything.. but these young kids do not feel the same at all.

Adidas making a lot of strategic moves the last few years.. let’s see if it pays off in the long run

Question: What is the top-ranked footwear brand for Gen Z? Nike is most popular among others including converse, adidas, new balance, and vans.

I know we’re in an overreaction society, but there’s a reason y Nike didn’t match UTenn’s offer, & u have no idea what’s coming in 2026.
 
Adidas greatly improved Miami cash flow in a time we needed. We started having more success on the field and even landing more talented recruits. However I wouldn’t be opposed to switching back to Nike/jordan when the time comes. Miami has enough money now rather than rely on the money of the contract from adidas

Brother these kids feel the same about Jordan and Nike as we did. Jordan is actually hotter now than it’s ever been. I have a D1 commit that works for me when school is out and hes told me numerous times Jordan and Nike are the only shoe’s or cleat he’ll wear. Same with his teammates. He’s been at three HS’s and at all three the kids are in those two with very little adidas. Adidas will always be a tier two in America.

I get it.. my assessment might be too early. But a lot of these kids don’t hold Nike up to the standards we did.

For Christ sake these young boys rocking Asics more than Nike these days.. at least here in South Florida

Also, the best looking and hottest basketball player shoes have been from adidas the last few years.. and it’s not close
